Who was Farooq Ahmad Dar, the man tied to an Indian Army jeep in Srinagar by Major Leetul Gogoi? Was he just a man out to vote in the April 9 Srinagar by-election, as Dar claimed in news interviews? Or was he an 'instigator', provoking protesters to pelt stones, as claimed by the Army?

The Jammu and Kashmir police, which is conducting an investigation into the 'human shield' incident, has contradicted the Army and backed Dar.

This is according to a J-K Police report, which was submitted by the Senior Superintendent of Police (Budgam) to Jammu and Kashmir Police's chief SP Vaid last month. 

In the report, the J&K Police has contradicted the Army, finding that not only was Dar a voter, he was "lifted" by Army personnel and kept under "wrongful confinement".
